OCT-14-98 WED 11.50 HENDERSON & STURM FAX N0, 2022239606 P,09 As shown in FIGS. 2 through 7, the main receptacle unit 11 comprises a receptacle member 20 having a generally elongated rectangular base portion 21 surrounded by a pair of vertical side walls 22, 23, a vertical rear wall 24 and an angled front wall 25 provided with an outwardly projecting ridge 2B which forms an internal channel 27 on the interior of the angled front wall 25 of the receptacle member 20. In addition, the receptacle member 20 is further provided with a peripheral lip portion 28 to assist the parent in gripping the receptacle member 20 during feedings.
Turning now to FIGS. 2 through 6, it can be seen that the auxiliary reservoir unit 12 is formed as an extension to the vertical side walls 22, 23 and the angled front wall 25 of the receptacle member 20. The auxiliary reservoir unit 12 comprises auxiliary reservoir member 30 provided with smooth rounded edges 31 and cooperates with a pair of raised rear wall portions 32, 33 which are separated from one another by the internal channel 27 in the angled front wall 2S of the receptacle member to define a discrete shallow reservoir 34 whose purpose and function will be 15 described presently.
